    Rust reformer encapsulate... what are you folks using?

    I'll tell you what NOT to do. Sandblast inside the cab. Tried that to clean up rusted floorboards on a M1009. Even though I put tarps over most everything, sand still got into every imaginable crack and crevice and trickled down forever. Needle scale the bad spots followed by wire wheel...

    Air Force M-43 markings

    771 is the 771st vehicle that the USAF bought in 1953. K is the class of vehicle. There is a thread on decoding this scheme here somewhere. All I got!

    GP needs to pay for putting that huge dent in the front. At least it's not a hydraulic part, they destroyed the hydraulics on my forklift loading it and then said "hydraulics not covered by ironclad guarantee".

    1994 M1081 No Fault Lites Will Only Go 10mph When Press D Once: What Am I Forking Up?

    My 1081 is doing the same thing. Brakes are dragging badly on mine. Have not figured out why yet, likely has to do with the check valve behind the bumper. Check your drums for heat after driving to see if this is the issue. Your transmission is showing proper numbers.

    Welded Differentials?

    Going forward isn't the problem, it's turning (LOL). Agreed, get chains, and with no interaxle differential, there is plenty of traction.

    Quick vin question

    If it's a gas engine truck still, it will be too old to show up in the database that the "VIN info thread" uses. If it is multifuel, wait until the thread opens. Your truck was gas powered at one point as the serial number is pre-diesel I believe (1950's). See if you can find 2" numbers...

    Quick vin question

    If you have a pto with a shift lever sticking up near your right leg, and the data plate says w/wn, then yes you should have your winch back!

    New to me m1031

    May I ask why you wanted a M1031 if you did not want the maintenance box? Some M1028s have the 205 and have the bed you want. Anyway PM me before you scrap the box.
